IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

A bit of a flopI’d like to pretend that it was a friend that said this, but it was me. Last week.
A colleague of mine and his wife have been trying for a baby, with no success, for quite a while. He’s been pretty honest about the fact that the problem is with him and has kindly allowed us to make jokes at his expense about his non-functioning gametes.
On overhearing one of this bawdy exchanges, another colleague, who wasn’t as up to speed with the situation asked me what we were discussing.
“The fact that John’s impotent”, I replied.
Silence.
“I think you’ll find the word you were looking for was ‘infertile’, Rakky, but thanks all the same...” responded said colleague, now slightly less entertained by my suggestion that his gentleman was less than upstanding.
No wonder education standards are going downhill with fuckwits like me involved.

At leastyou don't work in any part of the medical field - that could be a recipe for disaster!
I could have been a doctor, I just didn't bother. The fear of needles and extreme squeamishness probably wouldn't have helped me either.
